CAI-COMPANY, or INIEW romyn. Y A companion or new 'YQRKQ I DISPENSING DEVICE, r012. LIQUID Somziae.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it'known that I, MORRIS B. RosEN- STOCK, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Nutley, Essex county, New Jersey, have made a certain new and useful Invention Relating to Dispensing Dev ces for Liquid Soap, &c., of which the follow ng is a specification, taken in connection wlth the accompanying drawing, which forms part of the same.

This invention relates especially to dis pe'nsing devices suitable for use. in dispensing liquid soap or other materlal and in which the container is provided with a permanently connected cap adapted to be seated within the flanged vsocket in the bracket or support and positively locked in position in connection therewith so' as to prevent interference with the operat ng mechanism which may be adjusted to regulate the amount of material dispensed, the container when in normal position also acting to protect the fastening device for the bracket so as .to prevent its removal.

In the accompanying drawing showing in a somewhat diagrammatic way an illustrative embodiment of this invention Figure '1 is an elevation partly in section. Fig. 2 is apartial elevation showing the container separated from its socket; and Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken substantially along, the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, the key being shown Withdrawn.

The dispensing device may as indicated comprise a container 1 preferably formed of glass or other suitable material, and pro- ;videdwith an' attaching device such as a screw thread 2 by which it may be conveniently secured to a suitable cap 3 Whose threads may be formed with-interruptions 'orenlargements 4 to prevent unscrewing in connection with suitable irregularities or interruptions in the 'screwthread on the container and the interposed cement or binding material which is preferably used to insure this permanent connection. The cap is preferably provided with a depending portion 5 adapted to fit within a suitable flanged socket in the end 13 of the support or bracket 18 as shown in Fig. 1, and in order to securely hold the parts in this service position any suitable locking or'ojection or device such as the cylindrical locking'-lprojection 11 maybe secured to 'orformed "on" the cap n any way :so as to Specification of'Iietters went.-

cooperate with a hole in the bracket. By forming a suitable recess, such as 12in this locking projection it .may 'be positively held in position when the rotary locking member 25 is'turned into the locking position shown in Fig. 1. This locking mem- "bermay be given a cylindrical form and held in alinement by a screw or pin, such as 28, cooperating with an annularrecess 27 of such extent as .to positively limit the amount of rotary movement of this locking member in either direction. In this way by the use of a suitable key as shown iIrFig. 3, the locking member may be rotated to; allow the locking projection to be inserted or withdrawn or to hold 'the locking pro jection positively in position as shown in Fig. 1. It is desirable to have the end of,

this locking member with which the key cog;

operates sunk or recessed within the surrounding material and to give it substantially the same diameter as the hole 21 withih-\which it is located so as to minimize the danger of its improper operation. By forminga number of shallow peripheral recesses in this locking member it may be such as 22, having its end formed with a series 'of wedge shaped slots or recesses which produce a number of tapering peripheral tines or gripping projections on the end of the key enabling it to readily and positively engage the irregular or polygonal end of the locking member which may thus be turned by rotating the handle 24 of this keyj It is also desirable in order to prevent the removal of dispensing devices of this character by unauthorized persons to provide-them with a suitablesafety fastening device, such, for example, as a protected fastening screw or member which cannot be operated when the dispensing device is in service position. For this purpose the stem 14: of the support or bracket may be formed with a suitable protected fastening aperturev 15, the outer end of which is normally closed by the container or cap when the dispensing device is in normal operating position. WVhen, however, the container and cap have been removed from the support the fastening aperture is ren dered accessible and the ,bracket may be readily secured in the desired position byinserting the fastening memberfarjscrew 16 into the wall 17 preferably in connec -tion with a suitable alining member or pin NEW JERSEY, A'sSI'GNoR T0 nosiinsrocx cn nm wall or adjacent sustaining member so as to hold the dispensing device positively in the'de'sired angular position and also 'to prevent'its beingunsc'rew'ed or removed."

Ihe dlspenslng devicemay beprovided with any sultable form' of measuring valve which is preferably removably connected with the container or cap as by screwing the measuring valve casing 10 into the threaded opening in the capso that a tight joint is -made .inconnectionwith the cap" washer 6,

for example. suitable plunger? ismounted within-"the valve casing preferably-in connecti'on witlr'an 'idjustable plug 37 "which may have a threaded engagement with the valve casing-"soas to be manually adjusted to'regulate .the effective capacity of the v measuringvalve and the consequent amount ofzliquid dispensed at asin'gle operation.

' The plunger-may be formed with a suitable integral-flange such as'38 which normally closes? the discharge opening in the valve casing in connection with a suitable washer if desiredso long as the plunger is held. in i the" closed position indicatedin Fig.- 1- by I thespring 9. In this position the feed aperture 8 which may be formed in the upper end-of the plunger for example is open seas to; allow the valve casing to become i filled with-the liquid from the-container above. When, however, the depending stem '20 is forced upward-by, a person using the device this feed aperture is closed and the discharge'apertur'e 39' in the-lower endof the plunger is"simultaneously opened-tealv low the discharge of the desired amoufit of material for-every operation of-the plunger.

When it becomes desirable to renew the supply of material in the dispensing-device the-attendant "can readily release the locking inem'berby turning it by-the key to the extentallowed by the alini-ng screw andthen the container and attached measuring valve maybe bodilywithdrawn from the bracket or-support-and the measuring valve re? moveidf-rom the 'cap of the container so as.

to provide'anvopening through which aii additional amount of material may be in]- serted. --Under these conditions the measuring valve may be readily adjusted by screw ing the plug'37 in or out to the desired extentbefore' again screwing the valve casing 10 into the threaded aperture or seat in the cap. The container and valve are then invertedso as to assume the position'sho'wn in Fig. Q- and" inserted into the :bracket so that the cap engages the flanged socket therein and is positively locked in this position by'turning the locking member so that the parts are securely held fin the position shown in"Fvig; ;-1 in which all the parts of the valve mecliaifisml are concealedor protected eX-' a flanged socket. to receive the end of said leasing or throwing out of adjustment any of the other parts of the device.
